             Summary: Use custom gwt-helper-maven-plugin to simplify pom configuration
                 Key: DROOLS-3654
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-3654
             Project: Drools
          Issue Type: Enhancement
            Reporter: Gabriele Cardosi
            Assignee: Gabriele Cardosi


The main scope is to allow editing/debugging/hot-reload client-code (GWT) of modules external of drools-wb while working with drools-webapp. This should be configurable on a per-developer basis, modifying personal .m2/settings.xml, without touching the versioned pom.xml
The current solution is based on the build-helper-maven-plugin, but it has two limitations
1) it is needed to statically define every external source inside the plugin configuration
2) it is not possible to override that configuration with the user' .m2/settings.xml.

The gwt.-help-maven-plugin (https://gitgabrio.github.io/gwt-helper-maven-plugin/) has been designed to overcome this limitations

1) it use a pattern matching to (recursively) find external sources from a given directory
2) it may use such patterns defined as properties in the pom, and since properties are overridable with m2./settings.xml profile, it is possible for each user to define its own profile and its own pattern, to match the setting s/he has/needs on its machine
